ProrasoProfessional Shaving Brush

In other reviews for similar products I have mentioned that having a ritual in my shaving routine is something I enjoy. This is a high quality brush that I very much enjoy incorporating into that routine.

Great product

Brush is nice. However shipping was bad. Package was damage and the silver has some bad scratching on it. For the price ill use it but wont order this from amazon again due to shipping.

This is a very high quality brush. It took a little breaking in, but within a week it was perfect. I found it works best with a high quality shaving soap or cream.

This Shaving Brush makes a huge differnce, high quality

About a year ago I started shaving with a quality double edge razor, but I resisted the idea of using shave soap and brush. Instead I kept on using the same types of shaving cream I had used before, but I wasn't getting the best result with them.Recently I decided maybe I should try Proraso shave soap and that seemed very promising, so I went ahead and bought this brush to use with it. Wow! I had tried a lot of shaving products over the 40ish years I have been shaving, and this is the best by far!At first it seemed a bit stiff, but it quickly softens and feels very nice. There were some lost bristles at first, but that seems to have stopped.Overall, I'm very pleased and would urge anyone looking for a better shave to give this a try!

I'm not going to return it cause I threw away the box, and it's too petty of a return. But this product promising to be of superior quality because it's "Made in Italy"; a country known for quality gentleman's suits, shirts and shoes, one would think that a man's accessory of this type would be comparable in quality. What a disappointment! If this is Italian quality, then things have truly changed worldwide. I cannot even imagine what this same brush would be like if it was made in China.I remember in my younger years this product was much, much better. This one lacks the weight that a real one had. The ones I remember having in the past, the brush would quickly spread open in a circular pattern when you applied the cream to the face, allowing a soft distribution of lather, The fibers were soft enough to spread open when pressed against the skin. This one does not, so I have to use it in strokes like a paint brush :( I shall continue to look around hoping to find one resembling what a true shaving brush should be.

I figured I would try the brush after I went all in on Proraso’s shaving products. I soak the brush in hot water before use and use the Proraso shave cream to get a creamy lather. This brush does not seem to lather up as well as my other boars hair brushes. Other reviewers claim that the brush breaks in after a few days. I have not experienced the break in and it still feels rigid. I think it may be attributed to the way the brush was tripped. It is not shaped as well as other brushes. This may be the issue with getting a creamy lather. I would not buy this again and would spend the extra money to get a more premium brush.
